Page 4 of 14

STEP 1: STARTING YOUR CASE

Information about Dissolution Keep the court informed of your current address so you get notice of all court dates.

You don’t have to use your home address on any court form. You may useany contact address where you regularly check in, as long as it is in the same state asyour home. The court will assume that you receive all notices sent to that address. Itis YOUR responsibility to let the court know if you move or want to getmail at a different address.

Statutory Restraining Order By filing your Petition, you agree to follow the terms of an automatic restraining order. The order is effective once the papers have been served on the respondent (see below for service information). If you don’t follow the order, you can be held in contempt of court and subject to penalties.

o You must attach a copy of the restraining order (called “Notice of StatutoryRestraining Order Preventing the Dissipation of Assets inDomestic Relations Actions”) to the Summons and serve it on therespondent.

o The statutory restraining order prevents either party from: Dissipating (transferring, selling, destroying, removing, disposing of)

real or personal property. Making changes to insurance policies without the agreement of the other

party. Making extraordinary expenditures (unusual or high-dollar payments or

purchases). Expenditures that are necessary for the safety or welfare ofthe parties, ordinary business activities, or related to this court case areallowed.

STEP 2: FILING AND SERVICE Make copies Keep one copy of all of the completed forms for your records. See below for additional copies you will need.

File your forms

If you eFiled your forms in Guide and File, skip to “Service”, below

Page 5 of 14

File all of the original forms except the Summons and Notice of Statutory Restraining Order with the court clerk. The clerk will give you a case number when you file. Put the case number on all copies and originals. See below for a list of the forms you will need to copy to serve on the respondent.

You have to pay the filing fees when you file your papers. Go to www.courts.oregon.gov for the filing fee.

• If you are low income, you may ask the court to defer (postpone) or waiveyour filing fee. You must complete an Application and Declarationfor Deferral or Waiver of Fees and an Order Regarding Deferralor Waiver of Fees and file them with your papers. If the fee is deferred,you will have to pay the fee later. If the fee is waived, you don’t have topay it. However, the judge may reconsider waived and deferred fees at theend of the case.

The clerk may give you some papers. A copy of these papers must be included with the Petition that you serve on Respondent (see below regarding service). NOTE: You are not required to serve the List Of Documents Parties May Have To Give Each Other (ORS 107.089) on Respondent, but if you do, then you both have to follow it.

Make a copy of the following forms to serve on the respondent: • Petition• Summons• Notice of CIF Filing• Notice of Statutory Restraining Order Preventing the Dissipation of Assets in

Domestic Relations Actions• Uniform Support Declaration and Statement of Assets and Liabilities (if you are

filing these documents with your Petition) (see Appendices A and C forinformation)

• Any other forms your local court requires you to serve on Respondent

SERVICE

You must officially notify Respondent that you have filed a case. This is called “service.”

Acceptance of Service – If it is safe for you to give the respondent the papers yourself, you will need an Acceptance of Service form. If the respondent signs an Acceptance of Service, no other kind of service is required. Signing the Acceptance of Service does not mean the respondent agrees with anything in your Petition, only that he or she received the papers. You must file the papers with the court before you give the copies to the respondent.

NOTE: Some courts have extra papers you have to serve with your filing.If you eFile your Petition, the court will email you the papers after your filing is accepted. If you do not include these papers with service, your case may be delayed and you may have to pay additional service fees.

Page 6 of 14

Formal Service If the respondent does not want to sign the Acceptance of Service, you must use another method. There are four ways you can serve. Service must be done after your Petition is filed.

**3 CRITICAL POINTS**

1. If you serve before you file, you will have to pay to serve the papers again

2. You CANNOT serve the papers yourself

3. If Respondent has a lawyer, you should also send a courtesy copy of the papers to the lawyer

1. Personal Service:a. By Process Server: Take a copy of your papers to the sheriff’s office in the county

where Respondent is located and have a sheriff’s officer serve the papers. Thesheriff’s office charges a fee for service. You can also hire a private process server of your choice.

b. By a Non-Party: Have a competent* person 18 years or older who is a resident ofOregon and who is not a party to the case (Petitioner or Respondent), northe lawyer of a party, serve the papers. The server cannot be an employee of any party. If the respondent is outside of Oregon, the server can be a resident of the state where the respondent is. If you have safety concerns, have the sheriff perform service.

*competent means a person who can understand, remember, and tell others aboutan event.

A Certificate of Service must be filed with the court by whoever serves the respondent. The certificate must include the date of service and the name of the person served.

2. Substituted Service: The process server may leave the papers at therespondent’s residence (where he or she normally lives) with someone 14 or olderwho lives there. The process server must also mail a copy of the papers (with astatement of the date, time, and place that the papers were served) to therespondent by first class mail. Make sure the process server completes aCertificate of Service. The date of service is the day the first class mailing is putin the mail.

3. Office Service: The process server may leave the papers with someone in chargeof the respondent’s office or normal workplace. The process server must also mail acopy of the papers (with a statement of the date, time, and place that the paperswere served) to the respondent by first class mail. Make sure the process servercompletes a Certificate of Service. The date of service is the day the first classmailing is put in the mail.

4. By Mail: First, the process server must send the papers to the respondent’s homeor business address by first class mail. Second, the server must send a copy bycertified mail, return receipt requested. The process server must file proof ofservice with the court, including the signed green card, date of receipt, and itemnumber along with a Certificate of Service. If the green card is not returned or

Page 7 of 14

if someone other than the respondent signed for it, then service by mail was not effective and you must try another type of service. The date of service is the day the respondent signs the returned green card.

If you are not able to have Respondent served by any of the methods listed above, you may ask a judge to allow you to use another service method. The judge might allow you to publish or post the documents. Forms to make this request are available online at http://www.courts.oregon.gov/forms.

Proof of Service The Certificates are your proof of service. An original Certificate of Service or Acceptance of Service must be filed with the court for your case to proceed, regardless of the method of service.

If proof of service is not received within 63 days of filing your Petition, the court may send you a notice of dismissal. Your case may be dismissed if you do not provide proof of service within 28 days of the notice.

Page 8 of 14

STEP 3: TEMPORARY ORDERS

You can ask the court to make temporary orders after you file the Petition. Temporary orders are effective as soon as a judge signs the order. They last until a judge changes the terms, signs General Judgment, or dismisses the case. For example, either party may request an order for spousal/partner support, or an order about temporary use of property. To make any of these requests, you must file a “motion” (request) asking the court to do what you want. You may need a lawyer to file these requests.

NOTE: The General Judgment may affect earlier temporary orders done byLimited Judgment. Talk to a lawyer if you have questions.

Go to www.courts.oregon.gov for the forms to request temporary orders. The forms may not cover all temporary orders you need. Talk to a lawyer for more information.

Domestic Violence

All courts have restraining order forms for cases involving domestic violence. A judge will usually hear your request within a day or two of filing. Check with your local court for filing times and procedures.

Refer to www.courts.oregon.gov/fapa for Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) forms and information.

Forms for other types of protective order are available at www.courts.oregon.gov/forms

Page 9 of 14

STEP 4: RESOLVING YOUR CASE There are three ways your case can be resolved: by agreement between the parties, by default if the respondent doesn’t respond, or by a judge in a hearing.

By Agreement It is always better to resolve issues yourselves, since you know what’s important to you. Once the case goes to a judge, it is out of your control. If you can’t resolve the issues on your own, or if it is not safe for you to talk to Respondent, the court may provide options to help you, including mediation and arbitration. For information about arbitration, see “By Trial” section below.

Mediation: A mediator is a person trained to help people resolve disagreements. Mediation is confidential. You may ask to meet with the mediator alone if you are uncomfortable meeting with the other party for any reason. Check with your local court clerk to see if there is a fee for this service. Mediators are not judges – they cannot impose their decisions on you. Their job is to help you reach an agreement. This may be your last chance to retain control over the outcome of the case. Agreements incorporated into a Judgment are fully enforceable (see below).

Some courts may require that you mediate before you have a hearing. Check your court’s Supplemental Local Rules for more information. If mediation has not yet been ordered in your case and you would like to request it, you may file a Request for Mediation form. If your court requires mediation, you may request that the court waive mediation if you have a good reason by filing a Motion and Declaration for Waiver of Mediation. Talk to your court if you have safety concerns.

If you and Respondent have agreed to all of the issues, fill out and file: • Declaration in Support of Judgment• General Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage/RDP

Note: The Judgment must be signed by both parties before being submitted to the court.

By Default Respondent has 30 days to respond to your Petition. The time starts running from the day after the date of service. The response must be in writing and must be filed with the court and mailed to you. If the respondent does not file a response within 30 days, you may request an Order of Default.

Forms and instructions for getting and Order of Default are included at the end of this document.

Page 10 of 14 (Aug 2019)

By Trial If Respondent has filed a response and the parties are unable to agree on the terms of a judgment, your case may go to trial

Conferences with the Judge Many courts will schedule a “status,” “pretrial,” or “settlement” conference before a case goes to trial. These meetings usually take place with a judge with both parties present, along with their lawyers (if any). You must attend any conferences that are scheduled unless you have received permission from the judge not to attend. At the conference, the judge may talk to you about how your case is going to be handled, consider requests for temporary orders, or set future court dates.

Some courts may refer certain cases to arbitration. You will receive information from the court if that happens.

Informal Domestic Relations Trials (IDRTs) are available in all courts if both parties agree. See UTCR 8.120 for more information. Each court handles IDRTs differently. Contact your court for more information.

Many courts require that you mediate before you can get a trial. See the BYAGREEMENT section above.

NOTE: You must give the other party an opportunity to review the judgment before you submit it to the court. See UTCR 5.100 for information.

You can represent yourself at trial. Some courts provide information about representing yourself on their websites. Go to www.courts.oregon.gov to find your court’s website.

The State Family Law Advisory Committee has written a guide that may help you prepare for trial. This guide is NOT a substitute for legal advice! The rules of court can be technical and complex. You may damage your case if you are not properly informed. If your case goes to trial, you are strongly advised to talk to a lawyer. To read the guide, go to: http://www.courts.oregon.gov/help/Documents/famlawtrialbrochure.pdf

Page 11: FILING FOR DISSOLUTION (D - Oregon Courts Home · 2020-04-17 · Page 2 of 14 . TABLE OF FORMS 1. Starting your Case (See the last box of this table for additional forms you may need)

THE JUDGMENT

Regardless of how you resolve your case, a General Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage/RDP must be signed by a judge. One of you may be ordered to fill out the judgment form and give it to the court to be signed.

The judgment finalizes your dissolution and contains all of the issues decided in mediation, arbitration, trial, or by agreement.

NOTE: The General Judgment may affect earlier temporary orders done by LimitedJudgment. Talk to a lawyer if you have questions.

If the respondent DID NOT file a response, the information you fill out in the judgment should be exactly the same as what you requested in the Petition.

If the respondent DID file a response, the information should be the exactly the same as what was decided in mediation, arbitration, hearing, trial, or through your agreement. All parties must review the Judgment before you submit it to the court. You must send the Judgment document along with the Notice of Proposed Judgment or Order to the respondent and any adult children who have not filed a Waiver of Further Appearance in the case.

Other parties can object to the Judgment. If that happens, you have to discuss the objections and attempt to resolve them before you submit the Judgment to the court. If you are not able to resolve the objections, the objecting parties can either send you a written statement explaining their objections, or they can submit their objections directly to the court. You must complete the Certificate of Readiness section of the Judgment to tell the judge whether there are outstanding objections. See UTCR 5.100(1) for more information about notice and objections.1

If the respondent is responsible for preparing the judgment, the respondent must send the proposed judgment to you before submitting it to the court. Then you can review it and object to it within 7 days of the date it was sent to you. If you and the respondent are not able to resolve your objections after reasonable efforts, you can either send a written explanation of your objections to the respondent or directly to the court. You must notify the respondent of your intentions so that they can advise the judge that there are outstanding issues. The judge may make a decision after reviewing the documents, or the court may contact you with further information.

If you are responsible for preparing the final judgment, make a copy for yourself and one for Respondent (unless you got an Order of Default). File the original with the court.

NOTE: Every document you file must have a mailing address or contact address where you will receive documents related to this case. You do NOT need to use your home address. You are responsible for checking your contact address. Notify the court in writing if your contact address changes.

Notice to parties in a suit for marriage dissolution or legal separation regarding continuation of health coverage

If you or your spouse have filed for divorce or legal separation and currently hold group health insurance coverage through your spouse, your coverage may end when the court grants your divorce or separation. Oregon law offers options that may enable you to continue your coverage. This notice outlines continued coverage options available under Oregon law. Federal law commonly known as COBRA may also enable you to continue coverage. Note: You must act promptly to continue coverage.

Applying for individual coverage may also be an option. Insurers can no longer deny enrollment to individuals because of health or pre-existing conditions. You may be eligible to enroll in a plan through healthcare.gov or directly from an insurer. If you apply for coverage through healthcare.gov, you may qualify for financial assistance.

For more information about Oregon and federal law, consult your health insurer, the plan administrator for your insurance coverage, the employer through whom your insurance is provided, or your attorney. The following is a summary of options under Oregon law:

1. Continuation of existing coverage for a divorced or legally separated spouse who is 55 years ofage or older (ORS 743.600 to 743.602). If you are a divorced or legally separated spouse and if you are 55 years ofage or older when the dissolution or legal separation occurs, you may continue your existing group coverage until youobtain other group coverage or become eligible for Medicare. In order to continue coverage, you must do both of thefollowing:

A. You must notify the group health insurance plan administrator in writing of the dissolution or legal separationwithin 60 days of the entry of the decree of divorce or legal separation.

B. You must elect to continue and pay for the group coverage. You must make the election on a form provided by theplan administrator.

Note: This provision applies only if your coverage is provided through an employer who employs 20 or more employees or if your coverage is provided by a group health insurance plan that covers 20 or more employees.

2. Continuation of existing coverage for a divorced spouse when federal law does not provide forcontinued coverage (ORS 743.610). If you are not able to continue your group health coverage under federal law(COBRA), you may continue your existing group coverage upon dissolution of your marriage for a period notexceeding nine months. The following requirements apply:

A. You must have been continuously covered by the group policy for at least three months prior to your divorce.

B. You must ask the insurer or the group policyholder, in writing, to continue your coverage. You must also pay therequired premiums.

C. You must make your request by the latter of the following dates:

(1) Ten days after the date that your coverage under the group policy as a qualified familymember ends;

or

(2) Ten days after the date on which the employer or group policyholder gives notice of the right to continuecoverage.

3. Apply for individual coverage.

To qualify for this special enrollment:

(1) Apply through healthcare.gov and pay your premium within 60 days of the date you lost your group coverage;

or

(2) Apply for individual coverage from an insurer within 60 days of the date you lost your group coverage.

Statement of Assets and Liabilities

You will need to file a Statement of Assets and Liabilities if the respondent files a Response and you have not reached an agreement as your trial date nears. Each party’s Statement must be filed with the court and served on the other party at least 14 days before your trial. Check your local court’s Supplementary Local Rules, Chapter 8 for other time limits and requirements. Give or mail a copy to the other party and complete the Certificate of Service at the end of the form before filing with the court.

Most courts prefer that you complete ONE joint form so that you don’t have one form listing “house 1” and the other calling it “123 Main St.” Your Statement should name the asset as specifically as possible. You and the other party should do everything you can to agree on the value of your assets and liabilities. Then list who the court should give each asset or liability to. You can use one of the formats below. NOTE: if there is a restraining order, protective order, or no-contact order between you and the other party, submit separate forms.

Tax debts, student loans, and support arrears can be totaled for each party, details are not required.

In the examples below, the parties disagree about the value of the Ford Ranger but agree that it should be awarded to Petitioner. The parties agree about the value of the Kia Soul but disagree about who it should be awarded to. Leave the last 2 columns blank – the judge will make a final decision about the value of each asset and who it is awarded to.

If Respondent Does Not Respond:

The respondent has 30 days to respond to your Petition. The time starts running from the day after the date of service. The response must be in writing and must be filed with the court and mailed to you. If the respondent does not file a response within 30 days of the date of service, you can request an Order of Default.

Default Default means that you are asking the judge to award you what you asked for in your Petition because the respondent did not file a response. Look at Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure (ORCP) rule 69 for more detailed information. NOTE: If the respondent has given you written notice that he or she intends to appear,

you have to give written notice that you intend to apply for a default order at least 10days before you file your motion. See Uniform Trial Court Rule 2.010 for the form yournotice must be in. File your notice of intent with the court and serve it on the respondent.See Oregon Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 9 for information about how to servedocuments after the Petition.

The judge may not grant a default if the respondent is incapacitated, a minor, a financially incapable person, a protected person, or a respondent in a fiduciary protective proceeding, as defined by ORS 125.005.

You must also show that the respondent is not in active military service before the court can enter an order of default. This is part of the Ex Parte Motion for Order of Default & Declaration in Support. If the respondent is in active military service, you cannot get an order of default unless the servicemember waives protection under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). This federal law starts at 50 U.S.C. 3901. Your local law librarian can help you find it, or go to www.law.cornell.edu* (under Get the Law click U.S.Code, then click Title 50 and go to Chapter 50). This law has strict rules about what “active military service” means. This protection does not apply to all servicemembers at all times.

If the respondent is in the military, you should see a lawyer before trying to get an order of default. If a default is not done properly, the respondent can re-open the case after returning from service. Be aware that if you knowingly make false statements about the respondent’s status, you may face both federal and state penalties.

If you know the respondent is not in the military, you must state facts that explain how you know.

If you have the respondent’s Social Security Number or date of birth, go to the Department of Defense website (https://scra.dmdc.osd.mil/) to find out if the respondent is in active service. This site can give you a free statement of service status that you can print out (called a “certificate of service” on the website). Attach this statement or a printout of the screen

to your motion. You can also call 571.372.1100 for military verification. Put the date and the name of the person you spoke with on your motion. If you don’t have the Social Security Number or date of birth, commercial sites may be able to provide information.

If you don’t know whether the respondent is in the military and have checked the website, or don’t have the necessary information, mark “I am unable to determine whether this person is in military service” and add any facts that you do know. The judge will decide whether to grant the default.

If Respondent is in the militaryIf the respondent is in active military service of the United States and has not responded to thePetition, the court won’t go ahead with your case until one of the following things happens:

(1) Respondent is no longer in active military service,(2) Respondent waives, in writing, the right to avoid default, or(3) the judge holds a special hearing in your case.

Talk to a lawyer if the respondent will not sign the waiver and you do not want to wait for military service to end. The SCRA rules are technical and complex. Contact the Oregon State Bar for help (contact information is on Page 1). The court does not provide blank waivers for this purpose.

* * * * *Requesting a Default - fill out the following forms (included below):

• Ex Parte Motion for Order of Default and Declaration in Support• Order on Motion for Default• Declaration in Support of Judgment• General Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage/RDP

Read your Petition CAREFULLY! The Declaration in Support of Judgment allows you to note any information that has changed since you filed the Petition. Read each section of the Petition you filed and note any changes in the spaces provided. You must complete the rest of the Declaration in all cases. Guide & File has completed some information for you, but you need to check all of the information to make sure it is complete and nothing has changed.

The Judgment Guide & File has pre-completed most of the General Judgment form. It is VERY important that you check ALL of the information! Some information cannot be completed by the system. If you leave required fields blank or do not correct inaccurate or changed entries, your judgment may be delayed or returned to you.

After you make yourself a copy of the completed forms, file the originals with the court any time after 30 days from the date of service. You must file the Motion for Order of Default by the 91st day after you filed the Petition (NOT the proof of service!). If not, your case may be dismissed.

The court will send you notice when your judgment has been entered.
